Lead Counsel

Who is Boulevard?

Boulevard provides the first and only client experience platform for appointment-based, self-care businesses. We empower our customers to give their clients more of the magical moments that matter most.

Before launching in 2016, our founders spent months interviewing salon managers and working behind front desks to understand their pain points so we could design a modern, user-friendly platform that meets the unique needs of their business. Our roots may be in hair salons, but we are built for the broader self-care industry, including many types of salons, spas, medspa, barbershops, and more. Our technology not only helps our customers survive but thrive.

We have an insatiable curiosity and embrace experimentation. We believe that simple solutions require the most sophistication, and we design each and every detail to maximize potential, power, and impact.

Our team values and celebrates our diverse backgrounds. Being open about who we are and what we do allows us to do the best work of our lives. We believe in equal opportunity for all, and you should too.

Come do the best work of your life at Boulevard.

As Lead Counsel, you'll run commercial deals, answer the regulatory and product questions that come with operating a payments platform in a regulated market, and handle the everyday legal needs of a fast-growing company, mostly on your own judgment. Reporting to Boulevard’s General Counsel, you'll work autonomously, partner directly with teams across Boulevard, and escalate only the genuinely novel, high-risk, or strategic matters. If you want broad scope, the trust and support to run with it, and the chance to help shape how Legal supports the business, this role is for you.

What you'll do here:

• Serve as the dedicated legal partner to a portfolio of product and business teams, providing day-to-day legal counsel on high-impact, fast-moving initiatives.
• Advise on a broad range of legal matters, including payments and FinTech, healthcare/MedSpa compliance, consumer protection, marketing, privacy, data governance, intellectual property, and dispute resolution.
• Lead the drafting, review, negotiation, and management of commercial agreements, from strategic partnerships and payments deals to customer contracts and renewals.
• Own and continuously improve contract templates, playbooks, and legal processes to increase efficiency and consistency across the business.
• Partner closely with Sales and GTM teams to balance legal risk with business velocity and enable faster deal execution.
• Collaborate with Legal Operations to build scalable workflows, automate repeatable work, and continuously improve how Legal supports the business.
• Join a lean, highly collaborative legal team where you'll have broad ownership, direct business impact, and the opportunity to help shape how Legal scales alongside a fast-growing company.

What you'll need to thrive:

• Experience: 6 to 11 years of combined law-firm and in-house experience, ideally including time at a SaaS, payments/fintech, or other regulated technology company. We value demonstrated breadth and judgment over an exact title or year count.
• Credentials: JD from an accredited law school and an active license to practice law in at least one US state.
• Autonomy: A track record of operating independently, owning matters end to end, and being trusted to make and defend judgment calls with limited oversight.
